With the community engagement for the Waterfront Commons underway, the next major step will be developing a comprehensive master plan for the former mill site. This process will shape the long-term vision for how the property can serve the community — balancing community needs, economic development, environmental restoration, public gathering space and waterfront access.
The master plan will be a collaborative process involving detailed design, technical studies, and community input. Residents, business owners, and local partners will be invited to help guide decisions about land use, layout, infrastructure, and amenities. This is where your ideas and values will directly influence how the site grows and evolves.
While we’re not there yet, this current phase of engagement is laying the groundwork — by helping us understand what matters most to the Citizens of Slocan and the broader Valley. Your voice today will help shape the planning to come.
Stay tuned for updates and opportunities to participate as the master planning process begins.
